Yes, but you will need to either remove your rear sway bar, and cut it's bracket off the axle tubes, or get BMR's relocation bracket.

True... just make sure the backspace on the wheels is about a 7.5 inch BS on the rears, and you should be fine.

I thought we couldn't run 16" or smaller because of the brake rotor/calipers?

Common misconception. As long as you get the backspacing correct, and possibly run spacers, you shouldn't have an issue... see this 24 page thread on nothing but 15" wheels.

That's for the front wheels... you need to find out the backspace on the rears... and since they are 10" wide, the BS needs to be about 7.5 inches on the rears.

When you have the tires mounted on them make sure they know what they are doing. Those are great light weight wheels but then can be bent so easily you will not believe it. Love the look of 15s on the Mustang. When you see them you know the owner is after real performance not bling!
